Well, you said you haven't seen one in a week, and I posted one I found in 30 seconds of searching.

I have watched many go in and out of stock while waiting for the one I wanted that was before I used a site to check the stock status for me. Then it was just an email notification away anytime I wanted to go to a place that had them in stock.
 
I ordered an EVGA 1080 SC from Newegg (it was in stock for about 5 minutes) nearly 2 weeks ago and after being in order verification for several days, it went on hold until they concluded their semi-annual inventory. After inventory was concluded and the order was finally "shipped", it still sat at the origin facility for another few days. Then the holiday weekend hit. So much for that rush processing and 2 day shipping. Successfully placing your order during the 5 minutes the cards are in stock is only the beginning. It might show up on Thursday, assuming it doesn't get stolen off my porch. So those who have not been able to place their orders yet, you really haven't missed much - don't feel bad.
 
Yikes.. sounds like a perfect storm scenario. Hopefully no more hitches after today.
 
Looks like bestbuy gets the Nvidia Branded models 1070 and 1080. I was going to pull the trigger on either I saw first and 1070 was available for a few days and no 1080s. for the last 2 weeks they haven't even gotten 1080 in stock ever and after I purchased the 1070 that comes in tomorrow, I have not seen even 1070 in stock for a week. Newegg hasn't had any available either when it comes to 1080s, seems like no matter how much they hype and say we sell so many. I don't believe it a bit, very short supply on these.
 
In regards to the scalping comments ... it's actually not as evil as it first appears. Sure, the jerk offs charging $1200 for the card are clearly scalping, but eBay and PayPal have ridiculous fees. Let's say someone is selling the 1080 FE for $900. After the Final Valuation Fee, eBay takes 10%, so $90. This brings it down to $810. PayPal then charges another $15 fee. This brings it down to $795. Then we can assume roughly $20 shipping (if they're offering free shipping, which many are). That now brings it down to $775. So on a $900 auction, the seller only makes a $75 profit instead of $200. eBay actually makes more money in this scenario than the seller. Think about that. eBay loves to rape their users with fees. It's ridiculous. Scalping is annoying, but people are willing to pay it.

I also didn't even factor into this equation the tax the seller originally paid on the item. So let's assume a $65 tax. So that means the seller paid $765 and received $775 after eBay's fees on a $900 auction. They made $10 in total. You can now see why the cards are priced so insanely high on eBay.

Ya, that's what makes them so annoying. They're doing all that work and making other people over pay a ton for 10 dollars. It's understandable if you're making 200 bucks a pop but for 10 dollars that's just insane.
 
Picked up a Gigabyte 1070 G1 for $429 at NE and I should have it on Thursday (free shipping). Not bad for a non-reference OC card with better cooling. If you want a 1070/1080 I think you just have to put a little effort into it and you can have one.
 
If you want you can buy 1080 and 1070 FE from the microsoft store with the student discount of 10% off (they don't actually verify if you are or not). 1080 FE comes to $630 and 1070 FE to $405.

This. So much.

People spend so much time bitching when they could just spend that time looking for a card. I bought 3 Pascals from EVGA direct. Was not hard. Hell the first two I was in Australia and I managed to score my cards.
 
Last Friday there were some in stock but the gdam mail was late so I couldn't get the credit card I wanted to use to order in time. After work I got it, place the order, and then they decline it. By the time I got off the phone with the company the card was out of stock again. :/

So I don't give up, wait and refresh the page for half hour, and it goes back in stock briefly. This time it goes through and I manage to snipe one.

Just an ASUS Turbo edition kinda plain jane non FE blower card. But it is on the way. Lucky me.
 
I got mine preordered since June 21st, No idea when or if it will ever get here, if I wanted a F.E. I could have goten one, but I prefer the MSI one, might still get a F.E. if it does not get here soon, or maybe I can snag a titan when they come in august (supposedly anyways)
 
After 2+ weeks of playing F5 at nowinstock.com and after setting up auto-notify on all EVGA cards I was eyeballing, I ended up getting my notification that the EVGA SC 1080 was in stock from Reddit. r/Nividia and browsed r/new posts, post submitted less then 1 minute ago.

Got right on NE and got my order placed successfully while sitting at a bar on slow free wi-fi. Checked NIS immediately afterwords and it was still showing it "Out of Stock" so I don't know what the deal was there. It was also really rare that I actually got an auto-notify email from NE too, I believe I only received 2 emails from them over that time span.

After some more r/Nvidia browsing, it looks like they have people posting availability all the time very quickly. Might be worth a shot, it worked wonderfully for me when the others did not.

I just got a tracking number for my Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1070 from newegg.

I placed a backorder on 6/28. (order #1)
7/1 morning; I check my order status; still says "backordered". I click the item link, where it shows "Add to cart". I'm thinking WTF. Why aren't they filling my backorder? Why are they taking new orders before filling backorders?!

7/1 morning: I call newegg CSR. On the phone with them for ~40 mins. He confirms they have "quite a few" of these cards, but they will fill new orders FIRST. So, the best chance I have to get one is to place a new order, wait for it to pass order verification, then cancel the backorder.

So I do that. It's had a "packaging" status since Friday morning. Either newegg doesn't fill orders on Friday or Saturday, or they're just slow and take a long time to fill orders.

Anyhow, I have a tracking number now, so hopefully the upgraded 3-day shipping will get it here by Friday or Saturday.


I've also had stock alerts setup for B&H for the past 2 weeks but after checking the item page an hour after getting an "in-stock" email, there's no stock. oh well. they're charging more than newegg anyhow.

Exactly, and this applies to everything including video cards. Ebay and Paypal are both monopolies and until something comes along that's a viable alternative, they will continue to rip-off sellers.
 
Gtx 1070 stocks are loosening, don't see the point in losing a ton of money on the 1080 when Ill do that on the Ti instead lol.

I was able to snag two GTX 1070's (one from new egg and one from bh photo) via nowinstock. Even my local "Central Computers" in Pleasanton, CA had them in stock but they were price gouging by 100$ from MSRP.
 
I gave up finding a 1080 and picked up a 1070 AMP Extreme today form bp and it just shipped:) going to be a massive upgrade over my old 6950 im using since my 290x died and is my first nvidia card since an 8800gtx
 
Got mine by chance. Was going through the different cards on amazon and was trying to find a way to get a "pre-purchase" button. clicking different links in weird ways and such, all i was seeing was 3rd party sellers for $925. I refreshed the page and suddenly they had "in stock" so I immediately bought it. by the time i was back on the store page it said 2 left, i refreshed and they were gone. interestingly enough there were suddenly about 50 more cards for sale from third parties for $900.

I don't think that NV is being lazy or trying to create a fake demand, i think that there are just a fuckton of 3rd party people buying them and reselling them.

I had a email notification from EVGA SC caught it 5 minutes later and cards were already sold out.
 
There were two eVGA SC's in the FSFT section last night.. 700 each shipped. Don't forget to look there for people who tested and decided to keep their current setup.

They are waiting for AMD's release. If the red team can push some volume out of $250 "good enough" cards, green team will respond with a flood of 1060's and the 1070 or 1050 depending on how well they all do in the real world.
Click to expand...

Here come the 1060's. Looks like they will compete well with the red teams 480's. Look for them in volume by the end of the month. Might still have to "F5" your way to a 1070 or 1080 for another month or two.
 
has anyone gotten an AIB card at the MSRP that NVidia originally announced?

Still got mine preordered for a lot more then that, expected to be delivered mid-July hopefully, but no guarantee it will, might still slip.

Think prices might stabilize around august if there is stock by then.
 
Microcenter st Davids PA has a shit ton of 1070's but no 1080's
 
Best buy stocks regular nvidia founder edition cards there all the time.

Man Nvidia nailed it with the founders edition thing. I think they designed this perfectly, I mean conveniently all you see available is founder edition cards and best buy has them in stock like every other week atleast for Nvidia branded models. Nvidia is milking their reference cards for sure. Nvidia store always has them, Best buy is like second because they are the only other retailer to carry nvidia branded cards. Nvidia is counting dollars to the bank right now with founders edition lol.

They got me to bite on 1080 founders edition as I was squeezed sitting here waiting to build my rig. I hated their new double MSRP but this is what happens when all that is available is founders edition.

Best buy still has the nvidia model 1080 in stock as I type this. They have had it for last 3-4 days in and out. It went out of stock and few hours later they had them in stock again 2 days ago and thats when i bought mine. Should be here monday.

1080 is still quiet a bit faster. I mean its worth the money I bought one because I found it at best buy I was looking at 1070 too but performance of 1080 is actually worth the real upgrade to me. it may be because I haven't built a system for 6 years and I decided to spend extra 250 and not worry about it lol.
 
My value sense kicked in and my wallet snapped shut. Though, surely my 1440p 165Hz monitor doesn't agree with my decision either.
 
I think I'll just wait for the 1100 series when 16nm GPUs will be dancing off the conveyor belts like freshly fried potato chips.

1080 was tempting for me, but I decided against it because 1080 still can't give me the performance I want (TW3 at 60fps minimum at 1440p, currently it's sitting on 60fps average, I use this as a benchmark as I want play TW3 at its best possible setting, and also give myself enough room for 4k performance as well as Fallout 4 modding), so I relented to waiting for 1080ti.

I have no issues with paying more for more, but I have issues when that 'more' still isn't enough.

Honestly I've been considering selling my 1070 and just buying a 1080 if I can catch one. I don't upgrade often at all and I feel like it's worth the extra 200 or whatever

why not get like a gsync monitor to make everything smooth? isn't that what the main purpose of that is. Plus I see myself as my expectations being unrealistic Asking for 60 minimum. I mean at a high resolution I highly doubt even 1080 ti will reach 60fps minimum with all setting cranked up. I think you are expecting too much from even 1080ti. 60fps minimum at best possible setting is giving yourself a reason not to buy anything lol. Anyways I hope 1080ti meets your demands but I highly doubt it will. 60fps minimum in most demanding games is long way out. Take Crysis 3 as an example, heck even the cards today are not hitting 60fps minimum with all the bells a whistles turned up. So that is a very high mark to meet and won't come anytime soon.

If you don't upgrade every cycle then it's well worth it if it fits your budget.

Honestly my main concern right now is how hard would it be to actually sell my 1070 since it's easy to get one now. Because I'd love to have a 1080
